    Once had a physical therapist who would get indignant about people on welfare or “too lazy to work.”

    Couldn’t get it through his thick numbskull head that he should reserve his indignation for the real grifters on Wall St.

    Kept saying to him, “it’s like standing on a beach, and you’re hyper-focused on a handful of sand with maybe a hundred grains, when there’s an entire fucking beach of millions and millions of grains. That’s the difference in amount between people cheating welfare and the Economic Terrorists of Wall St pillaging the public coffers.”

    What an odious, obstinate brainwashed clown he was.

        Yeah, I always challenge all of these guys, anybody wherever I go.

        It’s better to leave them with a couple of things to think about, even if they’re too thick from being conditioned by RW media.

        I have a old close friend who’s very bright but basically a moderate, who like clockwork now regularly comes to me at intervals of 5 years (after attacking my views) to tell me I was right about all or most of it.

        Gets exhausting though. I’ve found myself pulling away from this guy (who’s my oldest friend in the world) because I just can’t take his fear -based attacks. Just admitted to me last year he now believes there’s something to Institutional Racism, and that I’m responsible for two of the three most influential books on him (which includes Howard Zinn’s People’s History).

        It’s worth it to hold your ground. Often times it does seep in. Eventually.
